Evan's face went white in an instant. He never thought he'd hear those words being said to him again. It wasn't that he wasn't happy, he was beyond excited.

"Oh baby, that's... that's incredible"! Evan beemed

"Really"? Zoe sniffled

"Of course! I'm going to be a Daddy... again"! Evan jumped up excitedly

Zoe smiled as she sniffled thinking of the future of her family. She couldn't wait to tell Oakley and then the whole family!

"So... names"? Evan asked immediately

"Evan, I've only known for a few days... we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet".

"That doesn't mean we can't start thinking of names"!

"Ugh fine, have any ideas"? Zoe asked

Evan thought for a moment then looked down at Zoe's guitar then smiled as a cute name for a boy poped into his head.

"For a boy... how about Strummer"?

Zoe's eyes lit up, Strummer Hansen. It was cute and sweet. Zoe's little Strummer boy. It seemed perfect, like there was no better name in the world. Zoe immediately felt like she had a name if the baby turned out to be a girl.

"For a girl... I like Aspen.. it's a nature based name but I like the idea of Oakley and his possible baby sister having matching names".

A girl and a boy would be adorable, however Zoe having two little guys running around would be just as amazing, hectic and at times challenging but... still amazing.

Aspen or Strummer... those are the names.. there perfect. Coming up with Oakley's name was so difficult and took over 7 months, but this time these names just kind of stuck. Now, it was time to tell Oakley about his baby brother or sister.

Zoe and Oakley were sat around the dinner table as Evan dished out food onto plates before placing them in front of them.

"Thanks for dinner tonight, babe". Zoe lightly smiled

"No problem, I told you I'm a chef"! Evan proudly stated

"We haven't tried it yet, Mr". Zoe playfully narrowed her eyes

Evan took his spot on the other side of Oakley who seemed occupied with the hem of his shirt to care about his food or the news he was about to receive. Zoe and Evan exchanged glances trying to figure out who would bring it up.

Eventually Zoe took the initiative.

"Oakley? Sweetie? Daddy and I have something very exciting to tell you"!

The child looked up immediately looking intrigued. The looks upon his parents faces were something he had never seen before. He knew they were excited.

"You know how you would ask Mommy or I to play and we would have to work so we would tell you that we couldn't"?

Oakley noddes suddenly becoming suspicious as to where this was headed.

"Well... soon you'll have a little baby brother or sister to play with".

"W-W-Why"?! Oakley yelled as tears started to rush down his cheeks

This took the parents by surprise. Anytime they had witnessed a child being told they were going to have a little sibling, it always went well.

"Baby, don't cry! You're going to love your little sibling"! Zoe tried to sooth

"No! I don't want one"! Oakley cried before running away to his room.

Zoe looked to Evan who looked puzzled but hurt that this wasn't going to be a memory there going to want to remember. Evan wished that he could've had a little sibling... just so someone was there with him.
